Hard Times
Unusually for Dickens, Hard Times is set, not in London, but in the imaginary mid-Victorian Northern industrial town of Coketown with its blackened factories, downtrodden workers and polluted environment. This is the soulless domain of the striet utihuarism Thomas Gradigrind and the heartless factory qwner Josiah Bounderby. However, human joy is not excluded thanks to Mr Sleary's Horse-Riding c…

Kelly examines five church-state relations over a three-century period to show the impact of Calvin's thought on civil government.

Seven Days that Divide the World
What did the writer of Genesis mean by the first day ? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Gene…

The God Who Is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story
It can no longer be assumed that most people--or even most Christians--have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God's story o…

The House of God: Church Architecture, Style and History
The grandeur of St. Peter's, the Baroque ecstasy of the churches at Cholula in Mexico, the intimate peace of Fairford Church in Gloucestershire...
